Social media used to be a world of posting whatever we wanted whenever we wanted.
Just looking back at tweets from my old personal profiles makes me cringe – most of what I tweeted was about what food I was eating! We posted about ourselves and so did everyone else.
For me, it all started with MySpace and MSN Messenger. Facebook and Twitter didn’t even exist until much later.
It was as if they came out of nowhere.
What’s even crazier is that when I was doing research for this post, I found out that LinkedIn was actually started in December 2002. That was my first year of high school – I had no idea it existed until I started university in 2009!
Thinking about where all these social media channels started many years ago, it’s unbelievable how far they’ve come. Instead of just documenting our lives, we can use social media to grow a loyal customer base and even start a business. The possibilities are endless.
